[quote=Anonymous]10:22 again -- just to be clear. I'm trying to confirm that when teachers say they don't like parents asking for special accommodations, they aren't referring to giftedness in general. Instead, they are referring to the 95-99th pctile kids, who fit in just fine with the rest of their classmates in this bracket. However, the angry reaction from one poster here seems to assume that teachers are referring to *all* gifted kids, including the special case of the profoundly gifted kid, who may not fit in just fine. But you teachers may not have been referring to that kid, but instead to the much more common, PITA parent who thinks 95th pctile is something to brag about. So have I identified the source of our misunderstandings?[/quote]
